Express penetration testing services

Express penetration testing services from IBM Security Services help mid-market organizations quickly assess the security posture of their networks by safely identifying network vulnerabilities before they are exploited. IBM security consultants use real-world exploitation scenarios to demonstrate how attackers can gain access to sensitive data or systems and significantly impact your business.

During penetration testing, IBM security consultants will conduct real-life demonstrations of covert and hostile activities typical of attackers' attempts to compromise perimeter devices and security controls. The penetration test quantifies network weaknesses and real-world risks through demonstrations of covert and hostile activities typical of actual attacks in a safe and controlled exercise.
